The performances were great in this 3rd installment of the All In series. While Bishop and Stevie still have my heart, King and Queenie have a sweet story too. I love a good boy who likes to be filthy at the right time, so King hit the spot. Corey is the villain I’d most like to kick in the nards, so he was well written too! My only regret is not seeing he and Sissy get what’s coming to them.

I actually don't remember when I stopped reading the book, and I don't remember anything about the book, just that it did not excite me. I intend to come back to it, maybe!

Kingston and Queenie are great characters and getting inside Kingston's head was so fun. He is so sweet, but he is still an alpha male and when his possessive and protective side shows...MY HEART.

Kingston is lowkey freaky and if you are looking for that in a book--this is it for you. IT'S ALWAYS THE QUIET ONES. He is so understanding and so open that it is really hard to believe that his mother is who raised him because she definitely was not at first. He actually courts Queenie and it is so romantic.

Queenie is probably my favorite heroine in the series. I love her attitude and I love the way she carries herself. Like a queen...see what I did there?

This is a great hockey romance and I definitely recommend this book and series to anyone that loves hockey romances.

I get so sucked into Helena Hunting’s hockey series… it’s kind of hard to stop once you start.

📕 𝗕𝗼𝗼𝗸 𝗜𝗻𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: A Secret for a Secret by Helena Hunting

📙 𝗦𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗲𝘀: All In character series. Book 3.

📗 𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗗𝗲𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗹𝘀: Listened through Kindle. 🆓 on KU to read & listen.

📘 𝗚𝗲𝗻𝗿𝗲: Sports romance

📔 𝗧𝗿𝗼𝗽𝗲𝘀: Opposites attract, forbidden love, ONS, he falls first and HARD.

📖 𝗦𝘆𝗻𝗼𝗽𝘀𝗶𝘀: Ryan has always followed the rules. Until he meets Queenie, and begins to step outside his comfort zone. But she’s a hurricane to his calm seas, and they might be too different to stay together. 

🌟 𝗥𝗲𝘃𝗶𝗲𝘄: When you read as many romance novels as I do, finding a character who’s even a little unique is wonderful. And Ryan was that character to me. Most people write their leading men as alpha and brooding - but that’s not Ryan. He’s calm and thoughtful and a rule follower and sweet.

It takes a good writer to make those attributes stand up and feel great throughout 300 pages, and Helena Hunting nailed it. Ryan was layered and wonderful. And Queenie had a similar character arc that made me root for her to find happiness.

So invested in this series!

𝗥𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴: 4/5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐

𝗦𝗽𝗶𝗰𝗲 𝗟𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗹: 3/5 🌶🌶🌶

3.5 stars on this one. I liked the story, but not as much as the first two from the series. There were a few things that just annoyed me about this one, mostly Queenie. I really hated that name. Lol That's a silly reason to not love a book, but it really did annoy me. I can't help that. Also, I actually dated a guy in my early 20s who had a daughter who was being raised by his parents as his sister. I thought that was so weird and effed up. I don't know if they ever told her the truth when she got older, but what a mindfuck to find out that your brother is actually your dad. The story made me think back on that guy, and he was pretty much a douchebag toward the end of our relationship so it wasn't the best memory. That being said, the story did have it's cute parts. I loved the characters from the first two stories being included, and it did have a sweet ending. I have a feeling the next book will be about Jake and possibly Kingston's "momster" as his love interest. I guess that's cool, but it is a little incestuous. Haha. I am sure I will read it, though. I'm hooked on this series.

I loved this book and this entire series. King's story was sweet and sexy. This author is an amazing storyteller and I highly recommend this book. Reading the entire series makes the world richer, but this is a complete standalone.
